BURNEY – The Burney Water District has three seats available, and only two candidates have filed.
The County has notified the district, incumbents Roger Borkey and Tim McCammon will be appointed in lieu of election to fill the respective terms they filed for, one two year and one four year.
The incumbent sitting in the third seat, Fred Ryness, is recovering from a serious auto accident and was unable to indicate whether he wanted to retain his seat or step down.
Since they don’t have an answer they plan to keep him in the position until December. At that time they will submit his name for appointment if he wants to continue or submit the name of a possible replacement.
The board heard a presentation regarding full service of the district’s above ground water storage tanks from Utility Service Company Inc representatives Keven Barnes and John Snodgrass. The tanks are in need of refurbishing and repainting.
